Faucet Manufacturer Direct From Foshan
Foshan DTE Sanitary Ware Co., Ltd — faucets only, since 2008. Six production lines, 1,200,000 units per year, OEM and ODM from 200 pieces, with certifications that clear customs in North America, Europe, and Australia without surprises.
Full-Catalog Coverage
Our Faucet Product Lines
Seven product categories, each with enough SKU depth to build a full catalog or fill a container with a single product family.
Kitchen Collection
Kitchen Faucets
Pull-down, gooseneck, wall-mount, farmhouse, single-handle, two-handle — in chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, and stainless. Highest-volume category with SKU breadth from entry-level through premium. Buyers in kitchen renovation channels typically run 500–2,000 units per SKU per order.
View Kitchen Faucets
Bathroom Collection
Bathroom Faucets
Widespread, wall-mount, waterfall, single-handle, two-handle, low-profile, and side-handle configurations across brass and stainless bodies. Finish range — chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, PVD gold, oil-rubbed bronze — matches any fixture collection. Most distributor accounts in this category run 3–4 orders per year.
View Bathroom Faucets
Bath & Shower
Tub & Shower Faucets
Shower faucets, bathtub faucets, wall-mount and freestanding configurations. Pairs naturally with bathroom faucet orders — buyers consolidating both into one container reduce per-unit freight cost and simplify their supplier count.
View Tub & Shower
Concealed Systems
Concealed Shower Mixers & Sets
Pressure-balance and thermostatic concealed mixers, two-way and three-way diverter configurations, trim kits, and complete concealed shower sets. Higher average selling prices than exposed faucets — buyers in renovation supply and specification channels find this category worth building out.
View Concealed Systems
Water Quality
Water Filter & RO Faucets
Air-gap and non-air-gap RO faucets, under-sink filter faucets, drinking water faucets, and beverage faucets in stainless and brass. The water quality segment has grown steadily across all export markets over the past four years. Buyers who added this category early have built recurring revenue from filter system bundling — reorder frequency has doubled for buyers who position it alongside their RO system supplier.

Parts & Components
Faucet Aerators & Components
Aerators, hoses, and shower cartridges sold as standalone SKUs. For distributors who service the replacement parts market, this category generates consistent small-order revenue between container shipments — and keeps your customers buying from you instead of sourcing components elsewhere.
View Aerators & Components
Stainless & Specialty
Stainless Steel & Specialty Faucets
Stainless body faucets, sensor/touchless faucets, brushed nickel and brushed gold finishes. Stainless faucets address commercial and food-service adjacent applications where brass body products face specification resistance. Sensor faucets are a growing SKU for buyers serving the commercial washroom segment.

OEM and ODM from 200 Pieces — With In-House Tooling
The most common reason buyers switch faucet suppliers is that their current factory won't move on customization without a 2,000-unit minimum and a 60-day tooling lead time. We built our OEM program around a different assumption.

Low MOQ Built for Market Testing
Our OEM MOQ starts at 200 pieces — low enough to run a market test, get feedback from your retail or distribution customers, and decide whether to scale without tying up capital in inventory you're not sure about. We can hold that MOQ because we maintain an in-house tooling room for brass casting dies and CNC fixtures.
In-House Tooling — No Outside Vendor Delays
When a tooling revision comes up, it doesn't go to an outside vendor and add two weeks to the timeline. Our engineering team handles it on the floor, which keeps the first-sample cycle at 25–35 days for new OEM designs and 15–20 days for ODM adaptations of existing catalog bodies.
15-Engineer R&D Team
Structural designers, tooling engineers, and a surface finishing specialist who manages PVD and plating process development. For buyers bringing a design brief or a reference sample, the workflow runs from brief to first sample without handoffs to outside parties.
Certification Extension — Not a Full Re-Cert
For buyers adapting an existing certified body to a new finish or handle configuration, we manage the certification extension documentation as part of the project. You don't run a full re-certification from scratch — which matters when you're trying to get a new SKU into a North American or Australian market on a defined timeline.
Private-Label Packaging on All Lines
Most of our OEM buyers run their own brand on the carton and documentation. We prepare the commercial invoice and packing list to match. If you're building a house brand in faucets, the infrastructure is already in place.
Compliance & Testing
Certifications That Open Markets — Not Just Check Boxes
Buyers sourcing for North America, Australia, or Europe need documentation that holds up at the border and on the shelf. Here's what we carry and what it means for your import process.
North America
cUPC Certified
IAPMO cUPC certification covers the US and Canadian plumbing code requirements. Required by most US state and Canadian provincial codes for faucets sold into the residential and commercial new-construction channel. Our cUPC scope covers kitchen, bathroom, and utility faucet lines.
China Domestic
CUPC (China)
China's compulsory product certification for sanitary fittings sold in the domestic market. Relevant for buyers who distribute in China or source product that will be sold across multiple markets from a single SKU. Reduces the need for parallel certification tracks.
Australia / NZ
WELS Registered
Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards registration is mandatory for faucets sold in Australia and New Zealand. WELS star ratings are a purchasing factor for commercial buyers and specifiers. Our registered products carry the star rating documentation needed for retail shelf compliance.
Australia
WaterMark Certified
WaterMark is the Australian plumbing product certification scheme under AS/NZS standards. Required for faucets installed in Australian plumbing systems. Without it, product cannot legally be installed by a licensed plumber. Our WaterMark scope covers the core kitchen and bathroom faucet range.
France / Europe
ACS Certified
ACS (Attestation de Conformité Sanitaire) is the French sanitary conformity certification for products in contact with drinking water. Required for the French market and recognized across several EU member states. Covers material composition and leaching limits for brass and polymer components.
North America
NSF/ANSI 61 & 372
NSF 61 covers health effects of materials in contact with drinking water. NSF 372 covers lead-free compliance (≤0.25% weighted average lead content). Both are required or strongly preferred by US state procurement and commercial specification. Our lead-free brass alloy meets 372 requirements across the full product range.
Full Certificate Copies Available on Request
We provide certificate copies, test reports, and declaration of conformity documents as part of the standard sample and quotation package. If your compliance team or customs broker needs specific documentation formats, let us know at the inquiry stage and we'll prepare them before shipment.
Supplier Evaluation
Why Distributors and Importers Switch to Us
Most buyers who contact us are already working with a faucet supplier. These are the specific gaps they describe when they explain why they're looking.
MOQ That Fits a Real Buying Cycle
Standard catalog MOQ starts at 50 pieces per SKU. For buyers managing a wide SKU range across multiple product lines, that means you can reorder slow-moving items without waiting until you've accumulated enough volume to justify a container. Mixed-container orders are standard, not an exception.
Lead Times Quoted in Writing
Production lead time is confirmed on the pro forma invoice, not estimated verbally and revised later. For in-stock items, lead time is 7–10 days to container loading. For production orders, 30–45 days depending on finish and volume. If something changes, you hear about it before it affects your shipment date.
Pre-Shipment Inspection Access
We support third-party pre-shipment inspection on every order. SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek — your choice of inspector. We provide the inspection checklist and coordinate factory access. Buyers who run their own QC program can send their own inspector. We don't restrict access or require advance notice beyond 48 hours.
English-Speaking Export Team
Your account manager handles quotation, sample coordination, production updates, and shipping documentation in English. No translation layer between you and the person who knows the order status. Response time on email is within one business day; urgent issues are handled same day via WhatsApp or WeChat.
FOB, CIF, and DDP Available
We quote FOB Ningbo or Shanghai as standard. For buyers who prefer CIF or DDP to a named port, we work with freight forwarders who handle faucet shipments regularly and can quote both options on the same pro forma. Buyers new to China sourcing often start on CIF and move to FOB once they've established a forwarder relationship.
Defined Defect and Replacement Policy
Our quality agreement defines acceptable defect rates by category (cosmetic, functional, critical) and the replacement process for out-of-spec units. Replacements for confirmed production defects ship with the next order at no charge. The policy is in writing before the first order, not negotiated after a problem occurs.
Multi-Market Certification Under One Roof
Sourcing faucets for North America, Europe, and Australia from separate factories is a supply chain management problem that compounds over time — different lead times, different documentation formats, different QC standards, and three sets of supplier relationships to maintain.
We hold cUPC for North America, CE for Europe, and WaterMark for Australia — all from the same facility and the same production lines.
The practical effect: your North American, European, and Australian orders ship with the correct compliance documentation from one factory, on one production schedule, with one point of contact. Your customs broker gets the same documentation format on every container. Your compliance team isn't chasing certificates from three different suppliers before a product launch.

Surface Finishing Controlled In-House Across Five Finishes
We run chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, PVD gold, and oil-rubbed bronze on our own finishing lines — no subcontracting. For buyers placing mixed-finish orders, that means finish consistency across SKUs is controlled by one team running one set of process parameters, not coordinated across three outside vendors with different bath chemistry and different QC standards.
Chrome & Brushed Nickel
Both lines run a copper/nickel/chrome electroplating stack. The nickel mid-coat carries the corrosion resistance — skipping it is a common cost-cutting move in the industry, and it's why chrome faucets from some factories fail salt spray at 48 hours. Our chrome passes 24-hour salt spray as a minimum, with most batches clearing 48 hours.
PVD Gold
The PVD line runs 0.3–0.5μm coating thickness with cross-cut adhesion testing on every batch before parts move to assembly. Finish failures caught at the plating stage don't delay your shipment the way a late-stage rejection would.
Matte Black & Oil-Rubbed Bronze
Both decorative finishes run on dedicated lines with controlled process parameters. Mixed-finish orders across all five finishes ship from one facility with consistent QC documentation.
Five Finishes, One Production Facility
Chrome
Cu/Ni/Cr electroplating stack. 24-hr salt spray minimum; most batches clear 48 hr.
Brushed Nickel
Same Cu/Ni/Cr stack with brushed surface treatment. Nickel mid-coat retained for full corrosion resistance.
Matte Black
Dedicated finishing line. Consistent flat black across mixed-SKU orders.
PVD Gold
0.3–0.5μm PVD coating. Cross-cut adhesion test on every batch before assembly release.
Oil-Rubbed Bronze
Dedicated line with controlled process parameters. Consistent tone across batch runs.
Why In-House Finishing Matters for Mixed-Finish Orders
When finishing is subcontracted across multiple vendors, each vendor runs different bath chemistry and different QC standards. Matching a brushed nickel across three outside vendors for a single product launch is a coordination problem that introduces variation you can't fully control.
Running all five finishes in-house means one team, one set of process parameters, and one QC gate before parts move to assembly. Finish failures caught at the plating stage don't delay your shipment the way a late-stage rejection would.
No subcontractor coordination for mixed-finish orders
Finish consistency across SKUs controlled by one team
Plating-stage QC catches failures before assembly — not at final inspection
Chrome: nickel mid-coat retained — no cost-cutting on corrosion resistance
PVD: 0.3–0.5μm thickness with cross-cut adhesion testing on every batch
The Production Infrastructure Behind Your Order
Six dedicated assembly lines, each configured for a specific product family — kitchen faucets, bathroom faucets, shower valves, concealed systems, filter faucets, and components. Keeping lines product-specific means your 3,000-unit kitchen faucet order runs on the kitchen line from start to finish without sharing floor time with a shower valve run.
12,000 m² Facility, 6 Production Lines
1,200,000 units annual capacity, so your order doesn't queue behind a larger buyer's rush.
Brass Gravity Casting, C36000-Equivalent Alloy
In-house casting and trimming, valve seat threads held to ±0.05mm tolerance on CNC machining.
500,000-Cycle Endurance Testing on Every Production Batch
Not just new product introductions — the cartridge performance your sample showed is what your container delivers.
150 Employees, 12 Dedicated QC Inspectors
XRF lead content testing on every incoming brass batch, three in-process inspection checkpoints, leak test at 0.6 MPa on every outgoing unit.
ISO 9001:2015, CE, cUPC, WaterMark, SGS
Documentation prepared in parallel with production, travels with the shipment.

Markets Where Faucet Sourcing Generates Repeatable Revenue
Our order book spans five distinct buyer segments. Each has different order patterns, documentation requirements, and margin profiles — the detail below is meant to help you identify where your business fits and what to expect from the relationship.
Plumbing Distributors & Importers
Predictable Reorder Cycles, Consistent Documentation
Distributors stocking for wholesale supply to plumbers and contractors are our largest buyer segment. The order pattern is predictable: an initial container to establish inventory, then reorders every 8–12 weeks as stock turns. The documentation consistency we maintain — same HS codes, same test reports, same packing specs on every reorder — means your warehouse and customs broker aren't solving new problems every time a container arrives.
Most of our distributor accounts have been reordering for 3 years or more.
Kitchen & Bath Retail Chains
Finish and Dimensional Consistency Across Production Runs
Retail buyers sourcing private-label or OEM faucets for their own brand programs need a factory that can hold finish and dimensional consistency across multiple production runs. A brushed nickel faucet from your Q1 container needs to match the brushed nickel faucet from your Q3 container — same color, same surface texture, same packaging.
We run the same bath chemistry and the same process parameters on every run, and we keep production records by batch so any variation can be traced and corrected before it reaches your shelf.
Renovation Supply & Specification Channels
Consolidate Multi-Category Project Sourcing to One Supplier
Renovation-focused distributors and specification-channel buyers — those supplying architects, designers, and contractors on project work — tend to order across multiple product categories per project: kitchen faucets, bathroom faucets, concealed shower systems, and components in a single container. Our category breadth means you can consolidate that sourcing to one supplier and one container, rather than coordinating three factories and three shipments for one project cycle.
Concealed shower systems and premium finishes (PVD gold, matte black) are the highest-margin SKUs in this channel.
Water Treatment & Filtration OEMs
Dedicated Faucets for RO Systems and Under-Sink Filtration Units
Companies selling RO systems, under-sink filtration units, and water treatment equipment need a dedicated faucet that ships with their system. Our water filter and RO faucet category covers air-gap and non-air-gap configurations, stainless and brass bodies, and multiple finish options — so the faucet matches the system aesthetically and meets the lead-free requirements for drinking water contact in your target market.
OEM labeling and custom packaging are standard for this segment. This is one of the faster-growing segments in our order book — worth building out if you're already in the water treatment space.
Commercial Washroom & Hospitality Supply
Consistent Product Across Multi-Phase Projects
Hotels, commercial property developers, and hospitality supply distributors order in volume and on project timelines. The key requirements in this segment are finish durability, documentation for specification compliance, and the ability to supply consistent product across multiple project phases — a hotel chain renovating 200 rooms needs the same faucet in room 1 and room 200.
Our 500,000-cycle endurance testing and batch-level QC records give your specification team the documentation they need to commit to a product across a multi-phase project. Sensor faucets and concealed shower systems are the highest-volume SKUs in this channel.
Export Distributors Entering New Markets
Compliance Infrastructure Already Built for Your Target Region
Buyers building a faucet line for a new export market — Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Australia — need a factory that already holds the relevant certifications and understands the documentation requirements for that market. We've been shipping to all five of our export regions since 2010. The compliance infrastructure is built; you're not asking us to figure out WaterMark or CE for the first time.
For buyers new to a product category, we can suggest a starter SKU mix based on what's moving for our existing distributors in that region.
